Every article I've read, be it based on insiders, players or coaches, puts the estimate at about 50% for steroids, and over 75% for stimulants (amphetamines, etc). As for HGH, I couldn't say but any use is too much, and probably dangerous.

and most of them want to have much tougher rules about it...

I'll bet the pitchers are all for it.:)

If that were true, why has the Player's Union opposed this kind of drug testing for so long? (haven't they?)

And McCain has no business in this, though I don't mind him putting a little pressure on the union in this way.

I think he's doing it merely as a form of public pressure. I don't think he actually believes he could get legislation through. Mostly I think he's annoyed with the trickle down effect it seems to be having in college and high school sports.
